RADDLE The daily word transformation game

Announcing RADDLE, my new word transformation game.

raddle.quest

It’s a twist on conventional word ladders — instead of changing one letter at each step, you’re changing the entire word based on a clue. But it’s up to you to determine which clue to use.

If you play Wordle, Connections, etc., check out Raddle. I think it's fun and challenging. Sandy's very clever.

I love using jj instead of (or really on top of) git these days, but I struggled with the built-in diff editor, which seems to be pretty under-documented. So I made a quick cheatsheet reference of the commands, hopefully it is useful to others similarly stuck: paulsmith.github.io/jj-builtin-d...

This game has been so fun. Wildly entertaining

A TV screen showing an NBA basketball game between OKC (Oklahoma City Thunder) and CLE (Cleveland Cavaliers). The score is OKC 114, CLE 118 with 4:36 left in the 4th quarter. The game is being broadcast on ESPN. The TV appears to be mounted below some bookshelves filled with various books, and there's a partial view of what looks like a couch or furniture piece at the bottom of the image.

This game will determine which is the greatest city on earth: Oklahoma City, or Cleveland 💥

A paragraph of text discussing how overlapping windows mirroring stacked documents on a desk is not an ideal metaphor for computer interfaces. The text argues that partially hidden windows typically need to be brought to the top and made fully visible before use, and that the substantial implementation effort required outweighs the insignificant advantages of this design approach. It concludes by stating it's an example where a complication's benefit is incommensurate with its cost.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A sentence fragment that continues from a previous paragraph, stating that their solution is much simpler to implement while having no real disadvantages compared to overlapping windows: tiled viewers as shown in Figure 2.1.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A page showing Figure 2.1, titled "Oberon display with tiled viewers." The image contains a structured layout of the Oberon operating system interface, including a system diagram in the center showing module relationships (with components like System, Edit, Net, Backup, TextFrames, Printer, MenuViewer, and Oberon), surrounded by tiled viewers showing various system commands and file information. The diagram is structured hierarchically, with Oberon at the base connecting to Viewers, Texts, and Reals. The page also includes code snippets and system commands in separate tiled sections around the main diagram.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The season is the reason for the season

This was fun, nice work @xor.blue

A terminal screenshot showing a diff view of changes made to a Nix configuration file 'common/users/shared-user-config.nix'. The diff shows line numbers 43-53, with new lines in green and old lines in red. The change is configuring direnv with bash integration and nix-direnv support

A terminal screenshot showing direnv loading output. The user has changed directory to "Desktop/pushup/v0.3/". The output shows direnv loading an .envrc file, using flake, and loading a cached nix-direnv dev shell. There's a long list of exported environment variables including various Nix-related configuration settings, compiler flags, and build parameters. A red arrow points to the line "direnv: nix-direnv: Using cached dev shell".

Added a couple of lines to my home-manager config, and now I get instant loading of dev environments when I cd into them with direnv. (I was missing the nix-direnv integration, which caches the evaluation and the resulting environment.)

Nice - I just checked out Amperfy for iOS, looks solid. My next step is expose the Navidrome server over Tailscale. Have you done that or Wireguard or something similar?

A screenshot of a music streaming service dashboard showing recent listening activity for user "pauladamsmith". The interface displays a list of recently played songs with album art thumbnails, song titles, artists, track lengths, and timestamps. The layout includes a navigation sidebar on the left with options like Feed, Dashboard, and Explore. The main content area shows "New listens since you arrived" and "Recent listens" sections, featuring tracks from artists like Joe McPhee, Elvis Costello, Gillian Welch, and others. Each song entry includes options to like, add to playlist, and play the track.

Cleaned up my giant old MP3/FLAC collection (passed it through MusicBrainz Picard app), found a place for it on my home network, and served it up with Navidrome. Wired up to ListenBrainz - feels like the good ol' scrobble/last.fm days.

A black weight plate ornament reading "MERRY LIFTMAS" and "45 LB" hanging on a Christmas tree decorated with colorful lights. The tree lights create a festive backdrop of green, blue, red, and yellow illumination around the ornament.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I believe it’s "KO-hog" or "KWAW-hog."

Walrus Turtle Frog, people

An alphabet poster with vibrant illustrations of animals representing each letter. From A to Z, the poster includes an alligator, butterfly, crab, dog, elephant, frog, giraffe, hawk, iguana, jellyfish, koala, lion, monkey, narwhal, octopus, penguin, quahog, rabbit, sheep, turtle, urchin, viper, walrus, X-ray fish, and zebra.

New NATO phonetic alphabet just dropped

I feel so nervous when I see folks in the gym bench pressing with no spotter and they have collars on. How you gonna dump the weight if you in trouble?? It’s the only movement I have a healthy belief that it wants to kill me.

This photo shows the interior of the Walter Schroeder Aquatic Center, featuring its logo on a white wall above the pool. The logo consists of three blue wavelike shapes and the text “Walter Schroeder Aquatic Center.” Below it is the motto, “The Schroeder Way: Be Great • Act With Integrity • Expect Success • Team First.” In the foreground, there are blue-and-white triangular flags hanging above the pool, with swimmers and spectators sitting on benches along the pool’s edge. A digital clock displaying “28:16” is mounted on the wall to the left. The environment suggests an active swimming practice or event.

Been staring at it a lot the last two days: it’s a great logo.

DAMASCUS:

From the heart of Damascus, in Ummayyad Square, those celebrating this monumental event and those fleeing the city now breathe the same air, as opposition forces move to fully take over.

Assad reportedly left the country hours ago.

ITS OVER

Starting my upscale coatery

All hail Emperor Dondas!

Doing a cycle of increased volume/reduced weight. Still progressive overloading, but modulating reps, rest time, sets, as well as weight. Never done 10 reps at RPE 9-10 before. 245# for 2 sets. #weightlifting #strengthtraining
